Anyone who hasn’t read the new US National security strategy - particularly on Europe - should. It is shocking 👇

Dear American friends, Europe is your closest ally, not your problem. And we have common enemies. At least that’s how it has been in the last 80 years. We need to stick to this, this is the only reasonable strategy of our common security. Unless something has changed.
